Automatically bring your Linear initiatives to Swarmia

We now support Linear initiatives in Swarmia. If you’ve set up initiatives in Linear, they’re automatically imported to Swarmia’s initiatives view, making sure you always have real-time visibility into cross-team engineering work.

More updates

  • You can now use initiatives to define capitalizable work.
  • Similarly to any other issue filter, you can now use initiatives to filter data anywhere in Swarmia.
  • We also added initiatives to search, making it easier to find what you’re looking for.
  • If you’ve connected your issue tracker to Swarmia, you can filter pull requests based on whether they’re linked to an issue or not. This allows you to compare the cycle times between unliked and linked PRs.
  • You can now create Swarmia teams in bulk from GitHub. Simply select the GitHub teams you want to sync with Swarmia. All changes you make to your GitHub teams will be automatically reflected in Swarmia.
  • We released a survey communication guide to help you improve the response rates of your developer experience surveys. Use the templates as they are or add your own spin to them to make the most of your next survey.
